Tips on using CTA Alerts: Sign up, use Web site only

When I posted Friday about how our CTA Alerts group members had provided some great info about the commute home after Thursday's horrible rain storms, one commenter lamented that he could no longer read the alerts from the home page without being a member.

That's true. Upoc groups made that change so you had to be a member to view SMS posts on the CTA Alert group home page. I'll be working soon with my brother, Dan O'Neil, creator of CTA Alerts, on Version 2 of the alerts group to provide more functionality.

But until then, you can still look at the Web page for CTA Alerts info before commuting just by signing up. You can easily turn alerts on and off as you wish. Or always have alerts turned off and just use the Web site.

Go here for a previous post on this subject, and other handy tips.
